The camp structures were put together in a weeks time. I would say that they aren't too sturdy. A hurricane would wipe them out. The entire camp could be flooded or swept away.

The Everglade Alligators and Snakes would flourish and take out those detainees that didn't die first from the wind and water.

But what about the guards and the workers that serve the camp. They will also die cause there is no way to save them either -- should a hurricane hit.

Such an incident would be a total disaster.
